Buhler 4WD Tractors Approved For B20 Biodiesel PDF Print E-mail

April 18, 2007 - WINNIPEG, MB – Buhler Versatile Inc., a division of Buhler Industries Inc. (TSX:
BUI), is pleased to announce that Buhler 4WD tractors powered by Cummins Tier 3
QSM and QSX engines have been approved for B20 biodiesel.

Cummins recently upgraded its previous position on the use of biodiesel fuel, which
limited the use to B5 blends only, up to B20 for three key reasons. First, the American
Society of Testing Materials specification ASTM D6751 now includes an important
stability specification for B100 biodiesel; second, the availability of quality fuels from
BQ-9000 Certified Marketers and Accredited Producers is growing rapidly; and third,
Cummins has completed the necessary testing and evaluations to ensure that customers
can reliably operate their equipment with confidence using B20 fuel. This change will
enable customers to have a choice that includes renewable resources in their fuel
purchase decisions.

“In recent years we have received an increasing number of calls from dealers and farmers
about the use of biodiesel in Buhler tractors,” explains Grant Adolph, Chief Operating
Officer. “The Cummins QSX and QSM Tier 3 engines have a proven track record of
excellent fuel economy, and the approval for B20 biodiesel furthers the effort to support
new fuel initiatives.”
